This week I sit down with singer-songwriter and artist, @Carson Wallace !
Originally from California, Carson moved to Nashville at just 17, inspired by his uncle—and hit songwriter, and driven by a deep love for the craft. Growing up surrounded by top-tier writers gave him a front-row seat to what it takes to succeed in Music City, and he’s been chasing it ever since.
We talk about his early days at Belmont, why he left to dive headfirst into music, and how he learned to hustle. Carson shares the story behind his breakout TikTok moment, the Cameron Marlow hold that helped launch his artist journey, and how he’s built a fanbase through honest storytelling and modern production.
Plus, we dig into his evolving sound—from emotional ballads like “Ghost of My Chevy” to the genre-bending edge of “Out of My Control”—and what it’s been like working with Hardy as both a mentor and co-writer.
Carson opens up about trusting his instincts, writing for both himself and other artists, and why releasing good, authentic music consistently is what really moves the needle.
